READY, SET, GLOW

Squeezing in your pre-holiday beauty prep can be even harder than squeezing that sixth pair of wedges into your suitcase. Beauty expert Sophie Qureshi shows you how to set off looking groomed and glossy – whether you’ve got days to preen, or barely enough diary-space for a Brazilian…

Plane can wait:

Heard of Latisse, that lash-growing drug that’s huge Stateside? Now (finally) this lash lengthener is available in Europe (www.mylash.org). Apply it at night to the base of your eyelashes like eyeliner and after 6 weeks, your lashes will be longer, thicker and darker. Fact.

Left it late:

More natural than a perm, and less high-maintenance than extensions, a Lash Lift is the way forward if you want longer-looking lashes – like, now. It lifts lashes right from the roots so they look longer and flirtier, even without mascara. If you’re in the capital, go see London’s Lash Queen, Sue Marsh, at Cosmetics à la Carte (07880811647, £150) – she’s beyond amazing.

Stylist reviews Mylash

Mylash is offering a consultations for individuals that wish to grow their eyelashes longer, thicker and darker. Anyone who has heard of Latisse UK  – the revolutionary lash lengthener that’s only available on prescription will also know its incredibly hard to get a hold of outside the US. Not any more….  Down some narrow steps at the back of a make up salon on a quiet backstreet in Londons’ Knightbridge, lash expert Sue Marsh is now organising Mylash, an identical substance to Latisse with exactly the same active ingredient – bimatoprost, which works by stimulating prostaglanding receptors in hair and increasing the follicle activity – and exactly the same results.  Complete the online consultation and, if suitable, you will receive treatment in the post. Stylist tip: manufacturers say you need to apply it every day, but once you’ve established full growth (about three months), you only need to use it every three days to keep lashes lush.

Time to anti-age your eyelashes

You may not want to know this — so shut your eyes now! — but if your hair is going grey, there’s worse to come. Your eyelashes may be starting to turn grey, too. It’s perfectly natural: the hair follicles from which they grow just give up on producing melanin, the pigment that gives them their colour, though it doesn’t usually happen before your hair is grey. And going grey isn’t the only thing we have to worry about. Thanks to changing hormone levels, lashes naturally thin as we get older, too. This leaves us with less definition around the eyes and can make us look more tired. You could resort to just piling on extra mascara — but if you want something more permanent, there’s plenty you can do to counteract it. In fact, there’s a bewildering array of options to improve the way your lashes look. Here’s our pick of the treatments that can really make a difference . . . FAKE IT WITH EXTENSIONS WHAT IT INVOLVES: Individual false lashes made of synthetic mink hair are carefully glued, one...

The claim: One drop of MyLash applied nightly along the lashline is meant to give 25 percent longer, 106 percent thicker and 18 percent darker lashes. The verdict: After clocking a barmaids full and fluttery set (of lashes!), she tells me it’s all thanks to MyLash , so I decide a road test is in order. She was onto something: it’s crazily effective. After just one application, I notice a difference the next morning. Who Magazine, November 2014. Written by: Suzanne Scott
